This is extremely difficult. I am an identical twin. My sister began physically and emotionally abusing me when we were very young. Then my sister was actually diagnosed with mental illness before I was...by several years. By the time I began my treatment, she had ceased her treatment and was doing very similar things to what you described. She used my pain to seek attention for herself or make herself a victim. To this day, she denies the abuse she inflicted on me and claims I talk about it to ruin her reputation. I am now in a great place emotionally despite the loss of my father to Suicide a year ago. She is spiralling but not taking any advise. Now that she cannot abuse me, she has turned her anger and issues out on my oldest daughter. As soon as I realized this, I told my mom and my other sister that my communication with her would be severed until she sought treatment; I see it very much like an addict. If we don't stop enabling her then she will never see her errors. My relationship with my mom and older sister has not been affected and I am much happier and healthier emotionally.
